i
jMany Believe Democrats Have
I Real Chance to Win With
I Herbert Hoover.
FUTURE OF LEAGUE IS .
INTERESTING TOPIC
England and France Believe
Relations Will Continue
Harmonious.
LONDON. June 14. Warren G.
Harding's personality and record being
virtually unknown here, newspaper
comment this morning expresses
neither satisfaction nor disappoint
ment with tho Republican cholco of a
presidential candidate. Several news
papers refor to him as "a dark horse"
and inter that ho represents a com
promise. Two or throe journals as
sume the result of tho Chicago con
vention has opened the possibility of
the election of a Domocrat US the
i presidency.
Among those taking this view are
the London Times and the Daily News,
the latter telling tho Democrats "the
best card they can play Is to per
suade Horbert Hoover to accept their
nomination in spite of everything."
League of Nations Talk.
The future of the league of nations
and of British-American relations are
points much discussed. Tho Morning
Post, which Is a stern oppone&S of
tho league, says: "Mr. Harding is a
politician, notan idoallstt and may.
o6Tfimna- liimseYf." to the ' Amorlcan
people who show no marked liking for
being governed by edict frbni Mount
Sinai," and predicts that if; the Re
publicans win, the league will fall to
the duujy atago of pious revolution.
Curiosity as to' how Mr. Harding In
terprets Ellhu Root's "ambiguously
worded-' plank is expressed by pie
Telegraph, which thinks It will not bo
surprising "if this ambiguity was de
liberately cultivated on the principle
that the least said the soonest mend
ed, as it will be much easier t2 abuse
Mr. Wilson's failure than to'rrfuggest
a satisfactory alternative."
No Fear of Relations.
The Times referring to a statement
by Its Chicago correspondent that the
British must be prepared for a "thor
ough readjustment of their relations
jvlth the United Slates and his pre
diction that tho process will not be
easy."' says: "That depends in a great
measure upon ourselves. If wo have a
straight, clear and honest policy in
world affairs affirmatively based upon
those principles which are common to
us and Americans, we may have tire
some disputes to reach an agreement
but there can be no doubt as to the
results."
"The vagueness of the Republican
platform." the newspaper continues,
"leaves plenty of scope for its favora
ble Interpretation in strong and hon
est hands. We have much faith in the
American conscience, and if we appeal
to it we must come into court with
clean hands.'
Tho Express bellovos that friendly
relations with Great Britain will un
doubtedly be part of Mr. Harding s
policy.
Comment hi Purls.
PARIS, June 11. Few newspapers
here comment on the action of tho
Republican national convention at
Chicago, although thy all devote con
siderable space to the nominations.
"It is a triumph of the machine of
the party organization, or ils bosses,
over personalities sufficiently power
ful or well supplied with funds to be
In a position to appeal directly to
tho nation," declares Perlmax. politi
cal editor of the Kcho d Paris.
In examining tho platform of the
Republican parly, Pertinax pays spec
ial attention to the possible resuscita
tion of tho Panama controversy -and
tho Canadian wood pulp question.
This posture relative to England and
j Canada, he finds, to a certain extent, j
'symptomatic but ho adds: .,
1 Silcnco on Ireland.
; "We need not fear that such an at
titude will degenerate into absentation
I from European affairs or hostility to-,
I ward Europe. Too many elements of.
I the Republican party are bound up
1 Into our affairs and our pro-occupa-;
tlons. The silcnco observed regarding
Ireland shows tho desire felt at Chi
cago to keep on good terms with
England,"
Saint Brlce. In tho Journa.1, thinks
the nomination was a triumph of party
discipline, remarking; "Tho organ
izers had to steer between two rocks
a battle between persons and a class
of principles and they maneuvered
with remarkable skill.
Don't Like Johnson.
''Mr. Harding i3 a champion of the
international point of view which
raised tho American senato against
the Versailles treaty," says tho Jour
nal. "But all Frenchmen aro gttatly
satisfied with tho elimination o't Hi
ram Johnson, whose heart and "spirit
have never been greatly in favor In
France. Mr. Harding Is of a type
mado up of uprightness and kindness
and work. Ho deserves our respect
and our generous sympathy,''
Tho newspaper comments on the
fact that Mr. Harding is an Intlmato
friend of Myron T. Horrlok, former
United States ambasttador to franco
